Mark Kerr to Return at Tomorrow's WCO "Havoc in Hollywood" Event

Former UFC fighters Carmelo Marrero, Tiki Ghosn, Zach Light and former UFC heavyweight tournament champion Mark Kerr all compete tomorrow in the World Cagefighting Organization’s “Havoc in Hollywood” event.The 11-fight event takes place at the Circus Nightclub in Hollywood, Calif.

In addition to the lineup of UFC veterans, former PRIDE Fighting Championship super heavyweight Eric “Butterbean” Esch will take on Jimmy Ambriz in the night’s main event. The WCO super heavyweight title is up for grabs.

Kerr, who went 4-0 at UFC 14 and UFC 15 to become the organization’s champ, is 0-5 since December 2000. Much of his fighting career, including a sobering look at his addiction to painkillers, was examined in the HBO documentary, “The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Mark Kerr,” which debuted in 2003. Hoping to get his career back on track, Kerr will now take on Steve Gavin (3-1) in the night’s co-main-event.

Kerr last competed in February and suffered a first-round submission to Mustapha al Turk in a Cage Rage event.

Additionally, Marrero will fight for the first time since posting a 1-2 record in the UFC. The American Top Team light heavyweight posted a victory over rising contender Cheick Kongo in October 2006 but has since lost to Gabriel Gonzaga and Wilson Gouveia.

Doors to the event open at 7 p.m. PT, and the first bout takes place at 8 p.m. Phil Baroni and Kimo are scheduled to be guest commentators.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
